Laravel 8 FullCalendar Ajax Tutorial with Example

In this step by step tutorial I will demonstrate you how to show dynamic event data on calendar using fullcalendar components in laravel 8. Please follow instruction given below:

Step 1 – Install Laravel App

Step 2 – Connecting App to Database
Step 3 – Build Migration & Model
Step 4 – Add Routes

Step 5 – Create Controller Using Artisan Command
Step 6 – Create Blade View
Step 7 – Run Development Server

Step 8 – Test This App

Step 1 – Install Laravel App

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2 – Connecting App to Database

Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
 DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 
 DB_PORT=3306 
 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
 DB_USERNAME=here database username here
 DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=here your database name here

DB_USERNAME=here database username here

DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Step 3 – Build Migration & Model

Now, in this step we will create model and migration file. Please run the following command:

php artisan make:model Event -m

1	php artisan make:model Event -m

The above command will create a model name Event and also create a migration file for the Events table.Now go to database/migrations folder and open create_events_table.php file. Then put the following code into create_events_table.php file, as follow:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateEventsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('events', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->dateTime('start');
            $table->dateTime('end');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('events');
    }
}

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateEventsTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

* @return void

public function up()

{

Schema::create('events', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments('id');

$table->string('title');

$table->dateTime('start');

$table->dateTime('end');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

* @return void

public function down()

{

Schema::dropIfExists('events');

}

Now, in this step we will create model and migration file. Please run the following command:

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Step 4 – Add Routes

After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.

routes/web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\FullCalendarController;
 
 
Route::get('ckeditor', [FullCalendarController::class, 'index']);
Route::post('fullcalendar/create', [FullCalendarController::class, 'create']);
Route::post('fullcalendar/update', [FullCalendarController::class, 'update']);
Route::post('fullcalendar/delete', [FullCalendarController::class, 'destroy']);

use App\Http\Controllers\FullCalendarController;

Route::get('ckeditor', [FullCalendarController::class, 'index']);

Route::post('fullcalendar/create', [FullCalendarController::class, 'create']);

Route::post('fullcalendar/update', [FullCalendarController::class, 'update']);

Route::post('fullcalendar/delete', [FullCalendarController::class, 'destroy']);

Step 5 – Create Controller Using Artisan Command

Now, lets create a controller named FullCalendarController using command given below –

php artisan make:controller FullCalendarController

1	php artisan make:controller FullCalendarController

After successfully create controller go to app/controllers/FullCalendarController.php and update the below code :

<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
   
use App\Models\Event;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Redirect,Response;
   
class FullCalenderController extends Controller
{
 
    public function index()
    {
        if(request()->ajax()) 
        {
 
         $start = (!empty($_GET["start"])) ? ($_GET["start"]) : ('');
         $end = (!empty($_GET["end"])) ? ($_GET["end"]) : ('');
 
         $data = Event::whereDate('start', '>=', $start)->whereDate('end',   '<=', $end)->get(['id','title','start', 'end']);
         return Response::json($data);
        }
        return view('fullcalendar');
    }
    
   
    public function create(Request $request)
    {  
        $insertArr = [ 'title' => $request->title,
                       'start' => $request->start,
                       'end' => $request->end
                    ];
        $event = Event::insert($insertArr);   
        return Response::json($event);
    }
     
 
    public function update(Request $request)
    {   
        $where = array('id' => $request->id);
        $updateArr = ['title' => $request->title,'start' => $request->start, 'end' => $request->end];
        $event  = Event::where($where)->update($updateArr);
 
        return Response::json($event);
    } 
 
 
    public function destroy(Request $request)
    {
        $event = Event::where('id',$request->id)->delete();
   
        return Response::json($event);
    }    
 
 
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Event;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Redirect,Response;

class FullCalenderController extends Controller

{

public function index()

{

if(request()->ajax())

{

$start = (!empty($_GET["start"])) ? ($_GET["start"]) : ('');

$end = (!empty($_GET["end"])) ? ($_GET["end"]) : ('');

$data = Event::whereDate('start', '>=', $start)->whereDate('end', '<=', $end)->get(['id','title','start', 'end']);

return Response::json($data);

}

return view('fullcalendar');

}

public function create(Request $request)

{

$insertArr = [ 'title' => $request->title,

'start' => $request->start,

'end' => $request->end

];

$event = Event::insert($insertArr);

return Response::json($event);

}

public function update(Request $request)

{

$where = array('id' => $request->id);

$updateArr = ['title' => $request->title,'start' => $request->start, 'end' => $request->end];

$event = Event::where($where)->update($updateArr);

return Response::json($event);

}

public function destroy(Request $request)

{

$event = Event::where('id',$request->id)->delete();

return Response::json($event);

}

Step 6 – Create Blade view

In this step we will create a blade file. Go to app/resources/views and create one file name fullcalendar.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Laravel Fullcalender Add/Update/Delete Event Example Tutorial</title>
  <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

<body>
 
  <div class="container">

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

</div>

</body>

</html>

Put the script on fullcalendar.blade.php, after the closing of the body tag

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
var SITEURL = "{{url('/')}}";
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
var calendar = $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
editable: true,
events: SITEURL + "fullcalendar",
displayEventTime: true,
editable: true,
eventRender: function (event, element, view) {
if (event.allDay === 'true') {
event.allDay = true;
} else {
event.allDay = false;
}
},
selectable: true,
selectHelper: true,
select: function (start, end, allDay) {
var title = prompt('Event Title:');
if (title) {
var start = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(start, "Y-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");
var end = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(end, "Y-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");
$.ajax({
url: SITEURL + "fullcalendar/create",
data: 'title=' + title + '&start=' + start + '&end=' + end,
type: "POST",
success: function (data) {
displayMessage("Added Successfully");
}
});
calendar.fullCalendar('renderEvent',
{
title: title,

end: end,
allDay: allDay
},
true
);
}
calendar.fullCalendar('unselect');
},
eventDrop: function (event, delta) {
var start = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(event.start, "Y-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");
var end = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(event.end, "Y-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");
$.ajax({
url: SITEURL + 'fullcalendar/update',
data: 'title=' + event.title + '&start=' + start + '&end=' + end + '&id=' + event.id,
type: "POST",
success: function (response) {
displayMessage("Updated Successfully");
}
});
},
eventClick: function (event) {
var deleteMsg = confirm("Do you really want to delete?");
if (deleteMsg) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: SITEURL + 'fullcalendar/delete',
data: "&id=" + event.id,
success: function (response) {
if(parseInt(response) > 0) {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('removeEvents', event.id);
displayMessage("Deleted Successfully");
}
}
});
}
}
});
});
function displayMessage(message) {
$(".response").html("<div class='success'>"+message+"</div>");
setInterval(function() { $(".success").fadeOut(); }, 1000);
}
</script>

$(document).ready(function () {

var SITEURL = "{{url('/')}}";

$.ajaxSetup({

headers: {

'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')

}

});

var calendar = $('#calendar').fullCalendar({

editable: true,

events: SITEURL + "fullcalendar",

displayEventTime: true,

editable: true,

eventRender: function (event, element, view) {

if (event.allDay === 'true') {

event.allDay = true;

} else {

event.allDay = false;

}

selectable: true,

selectHelper: true,

select: function (start, end, allDay) {

var title = prompt('Event Title:');

if (title) {

var start = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(start, "Y-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");

var end = $.fullCalendar.formatDate(end, "Y-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");

$.ajax({

url: SITEURL + "fullcalendar/create",

data: 'title=' + title + '&start=' + start + '&end=' + end,

type: "POST",

success: function (data) {

displayMessage("Added Successfully");

}

});

calendar.fullCalendar('renderEvent',

{

title: title,

allDay: allDay

true

);

}

calendar.fullCalendar('unselect');

eventDrop: function (event, delta) {

});

function displayMessage(message) {

$(".response").html("<div class='success'>"+message+"</div>");

setInterval(function() { $(".success").fadeOut(); }, 1000);

}

</script>
